A language is described in which it is possible to set up operations for statistical data processing in connection, for instance, with market-research surveys. The language is claimed to be comparatively easy to use, whilst at the same time comparatively straightforward to program for a large-scale electronic data-processing installation. Restrictions on the use of the language, when programmed for use with a Pegasus computer equipped with magnetic tape, are given. This paper was presented at the Second Conference of the British Computer Society in Harrogate on 5 July 1960.
